MP_the4pack Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) I just received the online newsletter from OSU. Here is a snippet that I think everyone will find interesting. This was an online study conducted from 2005 to 2007: The results showed that the mortality rate for Greyhounds within the 2- year period was 15% (113 of 747 died). The most common cause of death reported was cancer (66 dogs, 58%), and the most common type of cancer listed as the cause of death was osteosarcoma (28 dogs, 25%). This is total, just not mortality in those two years: Osteosarcoma was the most prevalent form of cancer reported, with a prevalence of 50% (95% CI 34.2–54.2) for dogs with cancer and 6% (95% CI 4.3–7.6) for the overall population.
